The UFC is hosting a press conference at 4 p.m. ET to promote their debut show on the Fox network. UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez, challenger Junior dos Santos , and UFC President Dana White will appear at the press conference. Video will stream at UFC.com.


Cain Velasquez (9-0 MMA, 7-0 UFC) will attempt to make his first defense of the heavyweight belt he won from Brock Lesnar last October at UFC 121. Velasquez injured his rotator cuff in the fight against Lesnar. The subsequent surgery and rehab kept him out of training for over six months.

Junior dos Santos (13-1 MMA, 7-0 UFC) reaffirmed his place as the number one contender with a dominant decision victory over Shane Carwin at UFC 131. Dos Santos was originally scheduled to fight former heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar, but another round of diverticulitis forced Lesnar off the card.

The press conference takes place at W Hollywood Hotel in Hollywood, California, and it is open to the public.

The dream has come true for UFC fans and the owners of the company - the UFC will air on network TV for the first time on November 12th. Dana White decided to go all out for the one-hour special that will air on Fox and only put one guaranteed fight on the card, and what a fight it it. UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez will defend his title against number one contender Junior dos Santos. The other major interesting bout is the probable number one contenders lightweight matchup between former WEC champion Ben Henderson and Clay Guida.

The rest of the card, which so far consists of four fights all at lightweight or below, will air in some other form that hasn't been decided on by the organization as of yet. Here is the card as it stands right now.
